Your lips are too big, your eyes too wide

According to this story, cabbies in Nanjing will be banned from having shaved heads, long hair or moustaches. Those who are rude or deemed messy will also be banned.

"Strange haircuts are also banned under the rules, and female cabbies who wear too much makeup will face criticism," said one government official. Women in China get it so easy. Men get banned but women just get criticised. How fair is that?

The new rules are aimed at improving Nanjing's image during the National Games, and presumably as a testing ground for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Just imagine if we were to establish the same rules in Perth. We'd lose half the fleet. Ban being obesely overweight and there would be no cabbies whatsoever.
